They don't everywhere. For example, in Turkey, no is indicated by tilting one's head back and raising the eyebrows. Shaking the head usually indicates confusion or lack of comprehension.
In several nearby countries like Greece and Albania, shaking one's head can actually mean yes.
As to countries which practice the usual nod/shake arrangement, nodding likely originated as an informal bow. Bowing has since disappeared, but the humble nod remains.
Shaking the head probably started as an exaggerated form of turning away from something undesirable. For example, if presented with unappealing food, one might turn away one's face to avoid the smell. This eventually evolved into the shaking motion which is common today.
