The Secret of the Modern Kinds

GMs do not show your players this
This is an answer to a question that will not be answered until the 3rd epoch in the 6th century of the world.

Almost all kinds are the result of lab, magical, or unknown experiments performed by aelthi, dragons, or other secretive precursors. Aside from the insect people known as the Arjit and their related kinds and the aelthi, drathi, duerthi, and dragons the known lands of Central Tys are inhabited by essentially purposefully devolved versions of their precursors. Living aelthi, drathi, duerthi, and dragons do not remember this and it is unknown why that is.
This is why they look similar and are universally bipedal, why classes of kinds can intermix, why they're able to speak similarly to each other, and why animals they resemble are still around. The ones with this knowledge left are the old Velassian Aelthi. In the third epoch, they will return to break up the cold war between the Uhlionic Republic and the Thralish Commonwealth with their invasion and reveal this to the world as a whole.
However, while it's most likely true that urkain, uglotzi, and yagotzi are most likely similar experiments, their precursors are unknown. Only perhaps the Twin Gods of the Urks know, with ancient archaeology on the Grush Archipelago depicting strange ancient figures using similar symbols...
