I've been heavily involved in poker for many years. I have read quite a few books and studied the subject thoroughly. The answer to your question is simply that no one knows for sure. There are a few theories about it.
I've read that it has originated from India, France, and China. Similar games were found in various places around the globe and the historians aren't sure which one actually evolved into poker.
