Bats are in a separate order from primates. Bats are divided into fruit eating and insect eating bats. Therefore, fruit bats are just bats, not primates.

What is the history of fruit?

Fruit-bearing plants evolved relatively late, and it is likely that they evolved alongside primates. Primates have stereoscopic color vision, grasping hands, specialized teeth and jaws, an appetite for sweet-tasting food, and a medium-length digestive tract. They are very well adapted to eating fruit. In turn, this was an evolutionary advantage for the fruiting plants as well, because the fruit seeds passed through the primates or were discarded by them, ensuring the continued survival and spread of the plants.
