Many species have innate preferences for the habitat to which they're most adapted. These species show signs of stress when placed in a habitat different from that in which they naturally occur. Is there any evidence that humans might have innate habitat preferences that match the environment in which humans evolved?

yes.

Explanation:

In psychology innate preference refers to the natural way of being which plays an important role in psychological health.

A hospital enviroment is not an innate habitat of preference therefore staying long can cause stress and slow recovery.

However, it has been documented that patients who could view nature from their hospital windows recovered more quickly.

This is because nature or the physical world is the innate habitat of preference.
