G'day Sreejith,
Thanks for your question.
No one really knows for sure. Jane Goodall and other scholars have established that chimpanzees engage in wars where they kill other chimpanzees. Warfare has probably been a well-established trait amongst hominids dating back to the split of the hominids from the apes millions of years ago.
Causes of fights may have been disputes over hunting grounds and water sources that couldn't have been solved by other means. War has featured heavily in human history from the start. The earliest city states and empires in Mesopotamia became the first to employ standing armies.
You might want to read books on the subject such as:
* Warless Societies and the Origin of War;
* The Origins of War: Violence in Prehistory by Jean Guilaine;
* Constant Battles: The Myth of the Peaceful, Noble Savage by Steven LeBlanc
* How War Began (Texas a&M University Anthropology Series) by Keith F. Otterbein
* War before Civilization by Lawrence H. Keeley

The first war over must certainly have been a failure to communicate effectively. As so many other things it explains.
