Finding that a population is not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium does not provide enough information to determine the mechanism of evolution operating on the population. It only indicates that at least one of the five assumptions of the Hardy-Weinberg principle has been violated. Further investigation would be necessary to determine which mechanism(s) is/are responsible for the observed deviation from equilibrium.
