Which animal WITHOUT an opposable thumb has the closest hand to human ?

Hi !

I am trying to find out which animal has the closest hand to us humans, but without opposable thunbs ?

Because I found some articles about lemurs, which haven't an opposable thumb, but their hand design is - picturally - not close to us, and I am not really convinced by the marmosets and the "fake" opposable thumbs (as the capuchins monkeys can have)....

Any advice ?

Thanks !
