Dwarfs (or whatever the right collective term is) are smart though so conclusive proof it can be done.
What about reducing size/mass by removing unnecessary appendages like limbs? That must reduce the resources needed. In fact if we engineer everyone to be a dwarf without legs, we're on to a winner.

This was all foreseen in 1930 by Olaf Stapledon in his opus magnus, Last and First Men.

Who can come up with the most intelligent cold blooded creature. I'll start with octopus.
