Three.

The human clitoris is a scientific iceberg, both physically and figuratively.
In the past, research on our species' clitoris has been superficial at best, and even the tiny bit that we think we know now is not always right.
The clitoris is often said to house 8,000 nerve endings – 'double' that of the penis – but new findings, presented at a scientific meeting in October, suggest that's a serious underestimation of both sex organs.
The study is not yet peer-reviewed, but at least the results are on track to be properly scrutinized.
The numbers most often cited for the innervation of the glans penis and glans clitoris derive from old studies on – wait for it – cows; the results were simply co-opted for human anatomy.

What I want to know is how did they count them?
Three.
I will forgo my normal snarkyness and suggest that they might have just done autopsies.
Lots of research I am sure 🙃
Could be the biggest scientific development since seedless watermelon.
And where did they find cows with penises?
They took a look under the hood?
LOL!!! I was like .. hmmmm I wonder if its up yet... sure enough thanks!
To conduct further research, Peters obtained clitoral nerve tissue from seven transmasculine volunteers undergoing gender-affirming genital surgery in his practice.
Three.
An owl figured it out.
Cows??
Should used mice.
Yes. You follow the science!
In before it gets pulled.
And, this extreme level of complexity in such a small organ, 10,000 plus nerve endings, is simply a result of random evolution from a primordial soup and has nothing whatsoever to do with creation.
A bit unethical.
And poor controls for studying the nervous system.
Peters specializes in gender-affirming care, and his work depends on a deep understanding of human sex organs. To conduct further research, Peters obtained clitoral nerve tissue from seven transmasculine volunteers undergoing gender-affirming genital surgery in his practice.
Good point. The incredible complexity found by biological research itself argues against what they call evolution.
Crickey...that was the very first instantaneous thought I had just reading the headline
