- Maximum_parsimony_(phylogenetics) abstract "The maximization of parsimony (preferring the simpler of two otherwise equally adequate theorizations) has proven useful in many fields, and this article concerns its application to phylogenetics. Occam's razor, a principle of theoretical parsimony suggested by William of Ockham in the 1320s, asserted that it is vain to give an explanation which involves more assumptions than necessary. When applied to computational phylogenetics, maximum parsimony describes a particular non-parametric statistical method for constructing phylogenies. In this application, the preferred phylogenetic tree is the tree that supposes the least evolutionary change to explain observed data (hence maximally parsimonious). The basic idea was presented by Walter M. Fitch in 1971.While evolution is not an inherently parsimonious process, centuries of scientific experience lend support to the aforementioned principle of parsimony (Occam's razor). Namely, the supposition of a simpler, more parsimonious chain of events is preferable to the supposition of a more complicated, less parsimonious chain of events. Hence, parsimony (sensu lato) is typically sought in constructing phylogenetic trees, and in scientific explanation generally. However, complications in both actual evolutionary processes and in the methods used to reconstruct them make the science of phylogenetics difficult, relying more and more on advanced genomics and computational and statistical methods to complement traditional field research and morphological methods. In both principle and practice, parsimony helps guide this work.".
