I would say that the people are "normal," in the way that there is a huge diversity of culture, technological advancement, and ideologies. I have not been here long, but it is the environment I feel wary of. Plants throwing people into heat, local wildlife infect someone with aphrodisiac, magic well water that can transform you...

Ah, well some of those are made up, but it provides a general idea of what I have gleaned so far.
