Fruit is also pretty much banned on Atkins, but surely there was fruit growing on trees as our anscestors were in their hunter/gatherer stage--so the paleo perspective breaks down again.

Yes, but Atkins is not a paleo way of eating. Here are summaries of Neanderthin and The Stone Age Diet
And the fruit eaten by our ancestors was eaten on a seasonal basis. It wasn't available every single day of the year. In fact everything was eaten on a seasonal basis.
One of the reasons we have the ability to overeat nutritionally dubious foods is that everything is available 24-7, 365 days a year.
