According to CT canon, they evolved to sentience in parallel with their 
native predators on their homeworld. The K'kree lucked out and invented 
the better weapons at just the right time and sent their native predator 
extinct well before any outsider species made contact.

So, it was evolutionary pressure to keep up with their predator that 
kept them developing sentience.

I believe the species was called the "G'naack" or something similar, 
which is the same word they use to describe *any* flesh-eating species 
in the modern era.

Again, according to CT canon.

In YTU, it could have been anything. In MTU, one Hiver club or another 
(being the manipulative bastards they are) had something to do with 
inspiring that K'kree weapon designer...

YMMV.
