Natural home
Hello everyone,
Please consider this sentence:
As much as I am trying to shed light on the overlooked significance of the social world and how our brain specifically evolved to interact with it, I am not making the case that mentalizing has a natural home in lectures on geometry or organic chemistry.

Can I interpret "a natural home" here as "an inevitable part" or "predetermined part" or maybe even "obvious part"?
Thank you so much.
