(1) Parsimony methods are empirical in nature and the best trees may not be the "true" evolutionary reflection.
2. Authors have not actually built a parsimonious tree, and tested its fitness by say bootstrap. They conveniently used a new root citing "global pairwise mutations" & stopped there. Ideally, different root and branch arrangements needs to be statistically tested for validating.
(3) The diversity of reported strains are dependent on multiple factors, starting from total no. of samplings, how many diverse places/districts have been covered, the time span of the samples collected etc.

There is a discussion going on with possible origin of SARS-CoV2 with a Bioinformatics analyses. The preprint has arrived at erroneous conclusions, independent critics are as follows in the series

In the preprint , Libing Shen et al analysed 4571 SARS-CoV-2 genomes to identify least mutated strains and suggests Wuhan is not the place where the first human-to-human transmission occurred. The paper is not yet peer reviewed.
3/n

Athors suggest that least mutated strains of SARS-CoV-2 should be the earliest strains- an unsubstantiated claim. The number of variations depend on the methodology for sequencing, quality of the sequencing reads as well as the bioinformatics & therefore not comparable
