Why do we need a mechanistic explanation for everything? Even if it is technically true that it is the manifestation of change in the environment, isnt a social environment more relevent in a human context?

Then can you please explain to me the biology behind necrophilia, pedophilia, or bestiality? Are these not legitimate sexual preferences for the individuals involved? 
Nope. More like mental disorders. But we will find a mechanistic explanation to them eventually, but perhaps you think it is a result of demonic possessions? 
You'd argue that pedophilia is a mental disorder if it ties directly in one's perception of what constitutes as beauty? And if I were a proponent of literal demonology, Moridin, I'd already have sent in papers for your exorcism. 
pedophilia does not ties directly in one's perception of what constitutes as beauty. All forms of sexual assault is based on an urge for power, not beauty.

I'm wondering why the this cannot be ascribed to learned effects, and 'hints' at a linkage to neurobiological entities. Not that it is necessarily wrong, but such was noted at the beginning. It's certainly interesting though. 
Because cerebral responses to putative pheromone cannot be a learned effect by definition. 
Can you explain that to me and give me some links? If so, why did they hint at this being possible? 
If I expose you to hydrogen cyanide gas, and you die from inhaling it, can that be ascribed to learning or neurobiology? 
Are you saying cyanide gas is a pheromone? And that it causes a cerebral response?

But that's more of a base life process in pretty much every creature, this isn't quite the same.

There are many things that are non-learned responses. I don't believe this answers the question asked.
