The Hardy-Weinberg theorem assumes that no individuals enter a population from the outside (immigrate) and that no individuals leave a population (emigrate). Immigration or emigration upsets the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, resulting in changes in gene frequency (evolution). Changes in gene frequency from migration of individuals are gene flow. Although some natural populations do not have significant gene flow, most populations do.
