When the first movie came out, they wanted to make the Klingons look more alien & menacing, so they gave them the forehead ridges, and never bothered to try and explain where they came from. However, once they resurrected the show in 1987, and it kept going, they had to reconcile things.
During an episode of DS9 that was sort of a crossover with "The Trouble with Tribbles" from the original show, Worf says it's something that Klingons don't like to talk about. During ST: Enterprise, they finally explained it, as others have said.

Klingons were sergicaly altered to infeltrate humans in TOS.
There is some explenation of this in Star Trek: Enterprise, but I didn't see much of that show.
Thay didn't get them before The Motion Picture in 1979, and this was suposed to be the look they were originaly supposed to have, but couldn't because of makeup and costume budgets on the show.
There was a joke by Gene Rodenbury that the Klingons in TOS were "northern" Klingons, and those used sence then where "southern"
They didn't appear together possibly due to regional differences and disagreements.

It wasn't DS9 it was Star Trek: Enterprise with Scott Bakula.
But yeah, basically it was through genetic manipulation that went wrong.
