I'm assuming a player can choose a lower level feat if they wish, but I just want to verify. If you know the page number and/or quote the rule that would be great.
Thank!

Yes. The Level of the Feat is a Prerequisite, not a fixed time you can take it.
ACTION OR FEAT NAME [one-action] LEVEL
TRAITS
Prerequisites Any minimum ability scores, feats, proficiency
ranks, or other prerequisites you must have before you can
access this rule element are listed here. Feats also have a level
prerequisite, which appears above.
Frequency This is the limit on how many times you can use
the ability within a given time.
Trigger Reactions and some free actions have triggers that
must be met before they can be used.
Requirements Sometimes you must have a certain item or be
in a certain circumstance to use an ability. If so, it’s listed
in this section.
This section describes the effects or benefits of a rule element.
If the rule is an action, it explains what the effect is or what
you must roll to determine the effect. If it’s a feat that modifies
an existing action or grants a constant effect, the benefit is
explained here.
Special Any special qualities of the rule are explained in
this section. Usually this section appears in feats you can select
more than once, explaining what happens when you do.

I'm going to quote the above with a little different emphasis.
Prerequisites Any minimum ability scores, feats, proficiency ranks, or other prerequisites you must have before you can access this rule element are listed here. Feats also have a level prerequisite, which appears above.
Since prerequisites are minimum requirements rather than exact requirements, the general rule is that you can take a feat that has your level or lower as a prerequisite. There are a few ancestry feats that are exceptions and state that they can only be taken at first level.
