Anthropoid is a formal science word for an animal that looks a lot like a human. Apes — chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans — are the usual examples: flatter faces, bigger brains, hands that can hold things, and (for the apes) no tail. You can say “anthropoid apes,” or “an anthropoid” for the animal itself.
