Earth with small humans

+0
−0

In an alternate Earth (or even in a pos-exctintion future), suppose intelligent but primitive humanoids 1/10 the size of humans inhabit the planet. They don't coexist with current humans or have access to any previous technology.

How difficult would be to these small humanoids to achieve an equivalent technology and society level comparable to us? I'm going to focus this question in the following:

1) Food and water supplies, basic tooling, wheel, fire and agriculture;

2) Energy (water/windmill, steam, electricity, solar);

3) Long distance (transporting, navigation, communications, Internet, space travel and moon landing).

I suppose this is now a new concept in the fictional world, so if anyone could guide me through some work related to this question, I would really appreciate.
