Pedophilia is estimated to be at 3% of the population so I'm not sure why you believe that it is "very" common and widespread.
.
Estimated by whom exactly?
I suspect you meant to say some obscure study, estimated based on polling data, that 3% of the population have claimed sexual attraction to underage children.
Rest assured that if 3% of the population were actual pedophiles, the streets would be running red with an wholesale slaughter of anyone who even looked at a child wrong.
Homos might make up 2% or so of the populace at large, so rest assured pedos are a much smaller number. Heteros obviously make up the overwhelming majority of humans whether in practice or orientation. Trannys probably are 0.10%, so I'd suspect pedos are more in line with that figure.
Then again, it might depend on what your definition of pedos are. Are you going by the legal definition, or something all together different?
As to the OP's thoughts, maybe a small percentage instinctually look at pubescent girls as a potential for passing on their genes, assuming pregnancy was possible.
That said, even cavemen were capable of discerning that a 4 year old was not suitable material for reproduction.
So where you came up with your range of 4-12 is baffling in and of itself.
Please clean up your thought process and articulate your question, so that others can try to give an intelligent answer/opinion.
BTW - Your question does raise some interesting thoughts, though in our country, our citizens based on our societal and cultural norms, forbids any sexual contact with what we define as children.
This is one of the most bizarre threads I have ever seen from an original post, borderline troll post.
Not even animals in the wild seek underage partners to mate with. What makes a person think there is an "evolutionary advantage" for humans to do so?
A person must reach sexual maturity/puberty to have the capability for production. Anything before that is downright disgusting, perverted, and mental illness.

That's why I asked what specifically would be the evolutionary advantage of mating with a partner who hasn't reached maturity to reproduce?
I'm racking my brain here and got nothing. Even when life expectancy was lower females didn't start puberty until later.
That evolutionary trait can be eliminated by offing those degeneratives. If it in fact exists which I doubt. Either way put them down like mad dogs.
Amen!!!!!
But be careful around here...there is many a thread supporting these sickos. Even one recently...the usual suspects apologizing for these oxygen thieves.
That's probably next in the bucket list for liberals to make legal.
I'll bet some judge will buy that now.
Look judge I'm just more evolved in my thinking than most people. I'm ahead of my time but more of us are coming and soon it will be legal so why don't you get ahead of your time and dismiss this case against me.
Hopefully Judge Neanderthal still has the guts to say, you may be more evolved but since I'm involved you're going to jail.
You are being just as ridiculous as those who think conservatives are jonesing to turn the country into The Handmaid's Tale.
I'm not talking about 16/17 year olds which while still underage can still look more developed and womanly, but the very young girls like 4-12 or so. While it's of course sick to view girls that age as attractive in anyway, given just how very common and widespread pedophiles are, do you think it could be some kind of biologic holdover from caveman times? Don't get me wrong, regardless, if it were up to me I'd put them in a tank with dozens of Irukandji Jellyfish and laugh as they slowly die in excruciating pain.
But for me, I am just amazed how very common and widespread grown men that want to do little kids is. Wonder if you think there's some kind of biological/evolutionary reason for it.
no it isnt evolution. when mankind was young in this world, post pubescent humans needed to breed early in life to maintain as well as grow the population, so marrying at young age, starting around age 12 roughly, was normal. however there were also ancient laws, in some countries where children as young as nine could marry, but there were restrictions on that marriage, such as, the elder partner must see to the younger partners education, there could be no sex in the relationship until the younger partner reached puberty, etc.
as to the crime of pedophilia itself, in some countries it isnt a crime, beyond a certain age of the child, as long as the child has reached the age of consent, and is willing to consent to such a relationship. feudal japan was one such country.

the reason you hear these stories is like airline crashes, they are uncommon enough that they will make a big splash on the news. when these things get buried back deep in the paper, i would start to worry about them becoming common enough as to be an everyday problem.
Thinking in terms of cavemen times I can see where the life expectancy of the species was probably measured in terms of a couple of decades so males in their prime would probably be looking at females of an age to show birthing possibilities.
Genetic traits being what they are, there are probably still some throwbacks out there who think it appropriate to do the nasty with pre-teens. A very painful punishment should be warranted.
I totally agree because today you'd think people would be able to think of what's wrong and right and act accordingly.
That said, people evolved to procreate and that's still with us. Men still have that instinct to have sex with as many females as possible in order to carry on their genes. Women still want the "bad boy" because the bad boy or rough guys were better able to protect their women and children.
If you're living 10,000 years ago, there are no laws telling you what age is appropriate. The only thing appropriate was to bear as many children as possible with anyone that was child bearing age. It worked didn't it?
People evolved to be attracted to good looking people and good looking people were the first to find mates because good looking people represent good health and fitness. That's still true today.
In some ways much of the instinct we had 10,000 years ago still carries on today. Even if you intellectually don't want to have children, you still have that instinct to have sex. Logically, if you don't want children, there's absolutely no reason for you to be sexually active. It's all instinct.

There is at least in the sense that humans with strong sexual urges are more likely to reproduce and pass on their genes. And strong urges, like floodwaters, aren't always channelled toward appropriate outlets. It's probably inevitable that, among a large population of sexually driven people, there will be a significant minority of deviants.
