I watched this a couple weeks back. I don't recall him referencing Boyer/Atran, but I could tell he was drawing heavily on their work. I posted some neat links about, and my own shot at a summary of these ideas over
here, in case anyone didn't catch it.
Thomsons presentation was thorough, and much needed as well. This kind of work has been going on for years, yet this is the first good video lecture summary I have seen. Hopefully this medium will help in getting this information to a wider audience.
