I imagine the Kerbals had a fair bit more time to evolve than humans, and eventually lost the need to eat and drink because they learned photosynthesis (this is why their skin is green). Eventually they evolved a brain and civilization like us, and had a war (which is why Wernher is in the game) which ended in the countries finding out how rockets worked. A few years and many attempts to get to space later, the Space Agency (your space program) is founded by Gene Kerman and his friends Wernher, Gus and Mortimer. Then whatever happens in your install happens. The precursors were a very old species at this point, and during one of the Space Agency's launches, the monoliths were summoned to the planets by the Precursors. This led kerbalkind to have a purpose to their motive to go to space: to find out what these monoliths are.
