Assuming Jenny is a clone of some kind -- because why let anyone
other than Moffat imply the Doctor has had sex? -- and assuming that the hand is the source of the Doctor's DNA, then
obviously Jack created Jenny by merging his DNA with the hand's DNA, and impregnated himself with the child to prove his love for the Doctor. This also explains the TW S1 "never doing that again" mpreg remark.
Someone, probably not me, needs to write this.
SEARCH YOUR FEELINGS. YOU KNOW IT TO BE TRUE.

Or Jack lost his mind for want and love of the doctor (plus, it had been a few thousand years, and he was both massively bored and more than slightly drunk at the time), cobbled together cloning machinery from left-behind alien artifacts, this being pre-Torchwood days, and then bore a child, walking some early peoples through the process of doing the first cesarian entirely without anesthetic (because, having been massively bored and more than slightly drunk when he conceived this ... er, conception, he didn't even vaguely think this through). Unable or unwilling to raise her, feckless man that he is (plus explaining the whole thing was quite beyond him), he gave her up to a human family, trusting that she'd be safe without him. Alas, the doctor's genes will out, and somehow, unbeknownst to Daddies dearest, she hitched a ride into space with some passing aliens, and was never seen on earth again.

It would just kill me if this one turns out to be true.
