Physically, sure. What struck me was the easy acceptance of those who worked and lived in the Temple complex. They seemed to be cheerful and very interested in their work and those around them. Although I was obviously an outsider, it wasn't a big deal, and I was able to move comfortably among them and, as the book chronicles, participate in significant events.
Now, the people who lived on the coast, in and around Carpella, were not as easy going as the Temple people. It's not that they were different - many people at the Temple were from the lowlands, as they were called - but more an attitude or expectation. Temple people were excited about life and discovery. Lowlanders seemed wrapped up in their struggles.
But, yes, the people I encountered were similar to us.
