Parsimony, Hennig and Occam’s razor

“One should not increase, beyond what is necessary, the number of entities required to explain anything.”

William of Ockham (ca. 1285-1349)

Synapomorphies designate clades…But what if synapomorphies are reversed?

Willi Hennig

Parsimony is consistent when p2 < q(1-q)

Parsimony: pros and cons

Pros:Simple and fast (sometimes)

Cons:Depends on a very simple ‘model’ of substitutionDoes not estimate branch lengths wellSusceptible to long-branch attraction
