What is is earths evolution?

The most popular scientific theory states that earth was once a Porto planet, a planet that is like a baby. a large asteroid [left overs from the sun] soon gained gravity that pulled more asteroids towards it. in a few million years, the large asteroid will become red and be filled with lava. volcanoes erupted that formed clouds with water then water filled today's ocean. the rest of the volcanoes made large islands that became Pangaea then Pangaea becomes today's continents. of course earth developed an atmosphere then clouds formed. the first animal was a bacterial that released methane in to the atmosphere. later oxygen releasing Bacterial developed and killed the methane releasing bacterial. then fish evolved, then land animals [small] then dinosaurs, then mammals, the probably Porto humans or early humanly creatures, then homosepicans, then caveman, then today's humans.

Which substance was not present in Earth's primitive atmosphere?

Oxygen was not found in the atmosphere of primitive Earth. It is so reactive that it became locked up in compounds at the time of Earths formation. These compounds were varied, but the bulk of them were mineral oxides, silicates, carbon dioxide and water. Free oxygen entered the atmosphere only after the development of blue-green algae, which produced oxygen from carbon dioxide.
