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.
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.
Putting that aside, what would be the biologic/evolutionary advantage to this? I can't fathom any. If you want to deal with biology and evolution, it's all about procreation. Pre-pubescent girls cannot bear children. Then you have the male on male pedophilia which would offer even less.
I think it's a mental disorder, pure and simple, and either results from the perpetrator being abused/violated when young by an adult so they can no longer conduct normal physical relations with another adult as it is traumatic, OR, it is a need to dominate and control a child.
There's an argument to be made for sociopathy being a trait that was favourably selected for in a kill or be killed landscape, but being a child predator doesn't aid in that at all.
Being a sick predator is not genetic and has no benefit on humanity or even the perps themselves whatsoever.
They just need to be put away for the good of the world.

Just seems as if all the time you hear stories about men, especially well-known and famous men getting caught with kiddy porn or charged with molesting/raping kids.
Could men finding young underage girls attractive be an evolutionary trait?
Yes.
Some slimeball tries to make some moves on a local 9-year-old girl. Her father shoots him or cuts his nuts off with a rusty saw. He never reproduces, and his warped desires die with him.
But the men who are interested in of-age women don't suffer that fate (most of them), and their characteristics show up in their offspring.
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.

Because they're evil people who want to do harm and exert power over others, and they see kids as easy prey.
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.
Pheromones released during ovulation do signal to men that the woman is fertile. I can buy that and it's why an ovulating female regardless of age could at least subconsciously tell a man to pursue...at least initially.
However, that is only one piece of the attraction puzzle. Both a 10-year-old girl (some) and a 25-year-old woman ovulate but the woman's secondary sexual traits are also developed.
So then split the difference and look at 16-17 and you can find ovulation as well as the fully loaded secondary traits.
Is it still a "go"?
Well, then you get into more psychological/cultural factors. I have no problem admitting I've seen fully-loaded girls of 16-17 and my mind will linger for a bit..maybe a bit more...but the mere idea of conversing and intellectually connecting with a kid (hey, I'm old ) is just beyond my sex drive/old caveman days.
To be honest I'd rather just briefly see a fully-loaded 16-year-old girl and have my eye candy moment as opposed to hearing her speak...about anything.
But no ovulation, no secondary sex traits, and still playing with Barbies? I mean...what in the world could be there on ANY level?
Gross.
