Are fruits eaten by primates the sames that those eaten by modern human ? I strongly doubt about it. But what we know for sure is modern fruits are causing fatty liver syndrome and metabolism disease in human.

Is there a study showing that eating X amount of apples or Y amount of banana does what you say it does in your last sentence? I never saw something like that. Extracting the fructose from fruit and then drinking it is completely different to eating the fruit whole.

  Fructose is inhibitor of leptin production. Leptin is used in promoting satiety. So in general we always overeat fructose.

    But there's no study? I can't imagine anyone casually eating 1000kcal of apples or bananas on purpose. There's so much water and fiber in that meal that after 4 apples (~300kcal) you'd feel like you were stuffing yourself against your will. The study that shows people overeat fruits feels absolutely impossible.

That's probably just a matter of quantities. If you eat a lot of fruit, you're also eating a lot of sugar. We've been promoting this idea that fruit is inherently healthy and health conscious people have low fat, high carb diet (which cause hunger) and just binge eat fruits and drink juice. Sure, it's better than preprocessed crap but still a bad diet. Cue all the people posting YouTube videos on how freelee, the banana girl made them fat in 4 weeks.
