Most resources say that chimpanzees are most closely related to humans on the basis of their similarity in DNA.

The chimpanzee is probably the answer you're looking for. Another ape, the bonobo, is about equally close to humans but less well known. In fact, they were only recognized as a separate species from chimps in the late 20th century (1970's, I think).

Chimpanzee, Pan troglodytes.

I'm pretty sure it is monkey's. Because I've always heard people say that they are like a cousin to us, or something like that.
