      Is there any one value expected for tajima’s D for a locus evolving under the neutral theory of evolution? If so, what is it and why?

      I don’t understand how a value is determined to be low enough to be suggestive of a natural selection. Is it absolute (for example any value under 0 suggests natural selection) or relative to other value of tajima’s D for surrounding loci.

      I suppose nobody knows the answer
