Why do most women get their first period around age 12 when their bodies are usually not well developed enough to safely carry a baby to term?

I think the issue here is an issue many people always have. They think that because we have evolved this way that there’s a reason for it. This belief that evolution is well calculated. It’s truly not, some traits live on simply because they haven’t been damaging enough to kill off a species. Like those goats who’s horns grow into their skulls and kill them. There’s not evolutionary use for that but it happens. This could just be an example of that because, while it sucks that mothers die I’m childbirth, that hasn’t harmed our species a whole lot. Although it could be bred out eventually, that’s probably why we like women with wide hips so much.
