They way I understand is that humans simply use more than just a simple single neural network. Humans do more than just compare arrays of pixels to other arrays of pixels we've seen before. We have neurons that distinguish shapes, we have neurons that distinguish faces, we have neurons that distinguish textures, etc. So for a human the question is more like: Does it have a shape like a Panda, does it have a face like a panda, does it have fur like a panda, and does it have coloring similar to a panda? Then it probably is a panda. I also don't believe all of these systems are trained neural networks, but rather some of them are evolved instincts, hardwired and (near) unchangeable during a lifetime. Perfected over millions of years.
