We didn't understand classical physics first because classical physics was what our brain was evolved to be more able to understand. We understood classical physics first simply because our technology evolved to specify the effects of classical physics first.
As to no one really understanding quantum mechanics, there is a great deal of element of truth to it. String theory might be viewed as a way to guess an understanding of what has been discovered beyond the edge of classical physics and hope one could twist that presumed understanding to fit observation without losing too much of its simplicity. Religion is to guess a simple understanding of what has been discoverbandits the boundary of bronze age shamanism, and then twist all subsequent observation to fit its simplicity.
