”I have heard there was a “world” before Adam. Where did Adam’s sons get their wives.” That is called the Gap theory, and it suggested that the earth existed before then and was destroyed for some reason, so thus the darkness over the void face of the deep in Genesis 1, sort of a gap between that and the creation described in Genesis 1, but it has been totally debunked.
As for Adam’s son’s wives, they married their sisters. Since DNA had not had time to build up genetic impurities yet, there was no danger at that time of children with siblings or close cousins resulting in problems.

Plus, a sister could be decades or more younger, marrying a akin to a 50 year-old marrying a 30 year-old today, which would be a not very "near" kin.
