Why do some people have little teeth?

Usually Genetics: The size of the teeth is genetically determined. But -- if you are looking at a person's teeth, possibly they were originally "normal-sized" but the person may be a teeth clencher or grinder and significantly wore down their teeth.

Developmental : Disturbances can also be the cause besides genetics.
