I think he's just a neurochemistry nerd who gets excited to find examples of, as he put it, self evident evolution. He said social hierarchies are "older than trees," which is true. I can't think of one culture, living or dead, that don't/didn't operate under basic tribalistic mechanisms. If it's less convoluted to compare ourselves to another prosocial animal, bonobos are thoroughly matriarchal.
Edit: again I want to mention Nicholas Wade's The Faith Instinct. I find myself referring back to it often in this discussion
