Me saying does not mean much on this issue. That is why I noted that future science articles will tell.
Having said that, both were and are eurasiatic. Both evolved at the same region side by side. Both are already strongly suspected to form a subgroup together. The evidence will gather piece by piece, but by now I don't see any other worthy interpretation and that is why I took that categorical position. The other interpretation might be that there is no such a subgroup and in that case IE would probably not group together with any other eurasiatic family either. It would be an eurasiatic sprachbund.
