In "The Chrysalids," the old people are referred to as the "Sealanders" by the people of Waknuk, suggesting that they are associated with the Sealand region. They are also described as being telepathic, having advanced technology, and being less affected by the genetic mutations present in the rest of the population. These clues help identify the old people as a highly evolved and advanced civilization.
In "The Chrysalids" by John Wyndham, the "Old People" refer to the civilization that existed before the Tribulation, which left the world in a primitive state. The Old People were advanced in technology and had a highly developed society, as evidenced by the artifacts and structures left behind, such as the city of Petra.
In "The Chrysalids," people are violent towards those who are seen as deviant or different in terms of physical appearance or abilities. This violence is often justified by religious beliefs and fear of contamination from the Old People. Additionally, the strict emphasis on conformity and purity in society leads to harsh punishment for those who do not meet the established norms.
