Aharon Dolgopolsky
From Freepedia
Aharon Dolgopolsky (born 1930) is a Russian-born Israeli comparative linguist and one of the modern founders of comparative Nostratic linguistics.
Born in Moscow, he arrived at the long-forgotten Nostratic hypothesis in the 1960s, at around the same time but independently of Vladislav Illich-Svitych. Together with Illich-Svitych, he was the first to undertake a multilateral comparison of the daughter-languages of Nostratic.
After teaching Nostratics at Moscow University for 8 years, Dolgopolsky moved to Israel in 1976, and is currently at Haifa University.
