Toomas Kivisild

Toomas Kivisild, (born on August 11, 1969 in Tapa, Estonia) is an Estonian geneticist. He graduated in 1992 as a zoologist, and completed his Ph.D. at the Estonian Biocentre research institute. He is a professor of human evolutionary genetics at Cambridge University and his main work has focused on human mtDNA variation.

Stephen Oppenheimer, drawing upon the work of Kivisild (e.g. Kivisild 2000b) and other geneticists, writes in his work "The Real Eve" that South Asia may be the birthplace of the Eurasian mtDNA haplogroups which he calls the Eurasian Eves.
