They aren't all of the same nature (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

men

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'they aren't all' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adverb but the answer is not.

'of the same nature' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates a hidden word.
'MEN' is hidden in the letters of 'same nature'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for men that I've seen before include "'So many ..., so many opinions'" , "Crew" , "gents" , "Chess pieces" , "Human males" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
