Well, if you leave "not recorded" open, there could be Vulcan-human
hybrids on Earth in the aftermath of ENT "Carbon Creek". Or the
House of Quark could have engaged in procreative activity off screen
in DS9 "Little Green Men" - you do see the Ferengi always trying to
score with human (and comparable humanoid) females. And what about
all the times Q meddled with Earth history? Two Q can create humanlike
offspring, at least.

And we don't know how pure Kirk's human genome was. Samples could
have been left on Earth during Kirk's time travel adventures involving
that planet. Even if Kirk was a pure human, he did interact with aliens 
of the past, too, in "All Our Yesterdays". And Spock certainly had the 
chance during that adventure as well.

Nothing verifiable comes to mind, though.
