Aren’t Gromov-Witten invariants fairly new?

String Theory has been tightly connected to Algebraic Geometry for as long as I remember. For example the fact that String theory prefers to live in certain dimensions (eg. 26 for bosonic strings) comes straight from the Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch theorem.
