Paul Andersen shows you how to construct a cladogram from a group of organisms using shared characteristics. He also discusses the process of parsimony in cladogram construction. He then explains how modern cladograms are constructed and walks through a cladogram of primates.

Very helpful. Provides an example that kids can figure out and the definition of parsimony helps students understand why.
