It comes from William of Occam, a 20th century English philosopher, who proposed the principle of maximum parsimony (a.k.a Occam's Razor), a principle where one should study the simplest explanation that is most consistent with the facts out of all possible hypotheses first. It's a concept that is sometimes used in Biology (Yay for AP Bio!) as well as other mediums
