What sort of world would help prevent an intelligent species from discovering evolution?

I'm working on a first contact story set in the near future where an advanced alien species arrives at Earth and reveals itself to humanity, but is utterly baffled by the diversity of life that it finds on Earth.

What kind of world and evolutionary development history could possibly lead to an advanced alien species that was not aware of evolution?
