A cladogram is used to show or illustrate hypothetical speciation and relationships between species. They are commonly used to classify animals.
The principle of parsimony argues that the simplest of competing explanations is most likely to be correct.
In order to construct a cladogram that best reflects the evolutionary relationship of a group of species. Application of the principle of parsimony will help in deciding which tree is most likely to have occurred based on the fewest character state changes.
