What is Small Clones and the Projection Property about?

In 1986, the second author classified the minimal clones on a finite universe into five types. We extend this classification to infinite universes and to multiclones. We show that every non-trivial clone contains a "small" clone of one of the five types. From it we deduce, in part, an earlier result, namely that if $\mathcal C$ is a clone on a universe $A$ with at least two elements, that contains all constant operations, then all binary idempotent operations are projections and some $m$-ary idempotent operation is not a projection some $m\geq 3$ if and only if there is a Boolean group $G$ on $A$ for which $\mathcal C$ is the set of all operations $f(x_1,..., x_n)$ of the form $a+\sum_{i\in I}x_i$ for $a\in A$ and $I\subseteq \{1,..., n\}$.
