By mimicking processes observed in nature, like evolution itself, these algorithms offer innovative solutions beyond the reach of traditional optimization methods. They excel at finding near-optimal solutions in large, complex search spaces, making them invaluable in numerous fields. However, both areas are plagued by challenges at their core, including inadequate benchmarking, problem-specific overfitting, insufficient theoretical grounding, and superfluous proposals justified only by their biological metaphor. This overview recapitulates and analyzes in depth the criticisms concerning the lack of innovation and rigor in experimental studies within the field. To this end, we examine the judgmental positions of the existing literature in an informed attempt to guide the research community toward directions of solid contribution and advancement in these areas. We summarize guidelines for the design of evolutionary and bioinspired optimizers, the development of experimental comparisons, and the derivation of novel proposals that take a step further in the field. We provide a brief note on automating the process of creating these algorithms, which may help align metaheuristic optimization research with its primary objective (solving real-world problems), provided that our identified pathways are followed. Our conclusions underscore the need for a sustained push towards innovation and the enforcement of methodological rigor in prospective studies to fully realize the potential of these advanced computational techniques.}, keywords = {Benchmarking,Bioinspired computation,Evolutionary computation,Innovation,Metaheuristics,Methodological critique}, file = {/home/daniel/Zotero/storage/76AFWWRK/Molina et al. - 2025 - The paradox of success in evolutionary and bioinspired optimization Revisiting critical issues, key.pdf;/home/daniel/Zotero/storage/XTWV29I2/S2210650225002214.html} }
