State
Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium describes a population whose allele and genotype frequencies stay constant across generations because no evolutionary force is acting on it.
Show
A population whose measured allele frequencies match Hardy-Weinberg's predicted values, generation after generation, is not currently evolving at that locus.
Watch for
Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is a theoretical baseline for comparison, not a claim that any real population is actually non-evolving.
