There are only theories... there is a myth about a war between the Vanir and Aesir, and usually those types of myths are a reflection of mortal society. But we have a lot less information about the Vanir, so comparisons are rough. I will say that the difference between the Aesir and Vanir are NOTHING compared to the differences between Aesir and, say, the Roman pantheon.
