ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Dodo bird verdict

The dodo bird verdict means that some things that are believed to be right or true may not always be right or true. It's like when you learn something in school and your teacher tells you it's true, but then you grow up and learn more and realize that it might not be completely true. It's important to keep learning and questioning things to make sure we have the best understanding possible. This happens a lot in science and medicine, where new discoveries can change what we used to think was true. So, we have to always be curious and open to new possibilities!
