Eurasiatic, in turn, includes Etruscan, Indo-European, Uralic, Yukaghir, Altaic, Chukchi-Kamchatkan, Gilyak, and Eskimo-Aleut.
The Eskimo-Aleut group occupied the northernmost sections of North America; the Na-dene were just south of the Eskimo-Aleuts; and American Indians populated the area south of the ancient ice sheets.
The Na-Dene group consists exclusively in groups speaking Athapaskan-related languages, while Eskimo-Aleut presumably includes all groups speaking languages that are family.
