They didn't send humans up into space first, as they needed to find out the effects it had on the body, so they sent a dog, and a chimp into space, to conduct research, and make sure it was possible, or feasible.
In the early stages of space travel a chimp was sent to find out if humans to can survive.
To see if it was safe for a human to travel into safe. If the monkey made it, a human might survive space travel. If the ape died, then it was not safe for a human to go into space. The chimp lived, so human beings were sent into outer space.
