Al Aurians also don;t forget good ol'guinan mind you they seem to be much, much older and more advanced than humans

Indeed, them as well. It's an impressive list of people with quite a large amount of decidedly human features.

Yes but they're not humans. In "Time's Arrow" Guinan is at a party with Mark Twain back around the year 1900, and she doesn't look a day younger than on the Enterprise in 2350.
They also have some ability to sense outside linear time.

you have a point but they are so close to humans that it seems their insides are virtually identical I mean guinan was treated by 1800's Doctors and recovered just fine

I wish we say a human transplant race that had been around space fairing for thousands of years that'd be interesting

Maybe aliens transplanted humans from Earth to other worlds; that would explain how Kirk could impregnate an alien woman without scientific intervention in "The Paradise Syndrome."
Anything else simply defies evolutionary biology... as Carl Sagan wrote, "a human cross with a Vulcan would be as likely as with a petunia."

The people on the planet in "The Paradise Syndrome" were stated to be transplanted humans.

life in the milky way galaxy and possibly beyond was seeded by a very advanced race..in their image
it's entirely possible that, that similarity makes interspecies snusnu doable no pun intended
