You (humanity) don't learn from first principles either. The 3-year-old toddler doesn't learn the rules of English grammar before they learn to speak. Sure, we don't know how humans manage to learn with so "little" data yet, but it's definitely not "understand things from first principles". In fact, if you randomly pick an average person from the streets, they wouldn't be able to explain most things from first principles. (eg. How does their car work?)
