Without stone, they are not even on the TL spectrum really, as TL0 assumes extensive use of stone tools. Honestly, such a species would have been overwhelmed by humans early on unless they have substantial magical advantages and/or lived in areas where humans could not prosper. In the former case, the average individual would need magical abilities that would compensate for lacking stone tools.
